Landscape Of Consciousness, Julia R. Baugh Nov 2014

Landscape Of Consciousness, Julia R. Baugh

Theses and Dissertations

In my ceramic work, characteristics of magnified microbes, undulations of texture, and gouged shapes recur and appear to blend with inner human anatomy, woodland forms, underwater landscapes and decomposed life. Some of these influences are linked to my childhood. Other experiences come from my career in the respiratory care field and in my international travels.

Levanna appears to be a short-term occupation site (ca. 30 years) containing a variety of ceramics.
